Plz to be instructing me on the proper pomegranate eating proceedure.

So ... around once a year I have a craving for pomegranates, and every year I make an unholy mess of myself and surroundings.

I love the flavour, but dislike the ... woody texture of the inside of the seeds. I can eat a few no prob, but then get a bit overwhelmed at the build up of fiberous-ness and need to spit that part out. Sort of like sunflower seeds, but yanno, inside out.

Also? I can't seem to pull a few seeds/kernels out without sending at least twice as many flying out in different directions. I spend more time on my hands and knees searching for rogue seeds than i do actually EATING.

Today I ate it hunched over the sink, with the poise and grace of a zombie eating a particularly juicy brain.

Hints and tips and flat out crit welcome.
